20 And why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words.
To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words; who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God; -- for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead; none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
The mouth of strange women is a deep ditch: he with whom Jehovah is displeased shall fall therein.
